Lyrics: Bottle Of Blues
Album: Mutations
Artist: Beck
 

Da da da da, da da da da da da da da da

I just found me a bottle of blues
Some strange comfort for a soul to soothe
Ain’t it hard, ain’t it hard
To want somebody who doesn’t want you

And I’ve been waiting for a year or a day
Some strange weather must be blowing my way
‘Cause I got no mind to go or to stay
Or be left behind

Holding hands with an impotent dream
In a brothel of fake energy
Put a nickel in a graveyard machine
I get higher and lower, I get higher and lower
Like a tired soldier with nothing to shoot
And nowhere to lose this bottle of blues

Egos drone and pose alone
Like black balloons, all banged and blown
On a backwards river, infidels shiver
In the stench of belief

And tell my momma I’m a hundred years late
I’m over the rails and outta the race
The crippled psalms of an age that won’t thaw
Are ringing in my ears

Holding hands with an impotent dream
In a brothel of fake energy
Put a nickel in a graveyard machine
I get higher and lower, I get higher and lower
Like a tired soldier with nothing to shoot
And nowhere to lose this bottle of blues

That’s definitely the one (????)
Huh huh
Yeah
Wanna

Well, I just found me a bottle of blues
Some strange comfort for a soul to soothe
Ain’t it hard, ain’t it hard
To want somebody who doesn’t want you

Holding hands with an impotent dream
In a brothel of fake energy
Put a nickel in a graveyard machine
I get higher and lower, I get higher and lower
Like a tired soldier with nothing to shoot
And nowhere to lose this bottle of blues

Bottle of blues
Aaah…
Doo be doo doo doo doo

And (????) sittin’ in the back room
Doo doo doo doo doo
Aaaaah…

Doo doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo
Da da da da, da da da da
Da da da, da da da
La la la, aaaah…
